WINDOW-SCREEN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 61 1,113, datedSeptember 20, 1898. Application filed December 13, 1897. Serial No.661,637. No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LUTE A. FIELD, acitizen of the United States,residing at J anesville, in the county of Rock and State of Wisconsin,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Screens, ofwhich the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to cover the entire window with screenmaterial secured in two sashes movable in independent grooves,

the frame made in sections andhinged together.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical central section ofmy improved window-screen shown in isometrical. Fig. 2 is an isometricalrepresentation of the complete window-screen in its folded condition.

The frame of the screen is composed of a lower section 1 and uppersection 2, connected together by hinges 3. Each section-is provided withlengthwise grooves 4 and 5, made to coincide when the'sections are intheir extended or open position. The upper section 2 has an opening 6 inits face communicating with the groove 5, and the lower section has ascrew 7 communicating with the groove 4:. The frames 8 are the same inconstruction, each supporting a Wire screen 9. To the frame for theupper section of the main frame is connected a cord 10, passing throughthe opening 6 and connected to the knob 11, secured to the section. Thelower window-opening.

screen-frame has an openingl2 in its lower rail, and when the frame israised the screw 7 will pass through'the opening, holding the frameelevated, and by means of the cord 10 the upper frame may be allowed todrop by its own gravity and can be raised and held in its closedposition.

The sections comprising the main frame may be secured to the inside ofthe windowcasing or can be fitted and placed within the In either caseeithersash of the window can be raised or lowered by raising or loweringthe screen-frames, and when the window-frames are adjusted thescreen-frames are closed, thereby excluding all insects, as the screendoes not interfere with'the working of the windows.

By making the main frame in two parts hinged together the frame willoccupy little space when folded and'stored away during the winter.

I claim as my invention? A window-screen composed of two sections hingedtogether and each provided with two grooves coinciding with each otherwhen the sections are in their, extended position, a screen-frame foreachgroove, whereby the frames can be moved into either section.
